October Outings

Applehill Adventures

 

We took Granny with us out to Applehill (a conglomerate of over 50 farms that put on fall festivities). Pony rides, crafts, yummy treats, hay/corn mazes, panning for gold and hiking were enjoyed.

 The Great Pumpkin Festival

The biggest event of the year that our city hosts is the Great Pumpkin Festival, we took a day to go see all the sites and partake in some fun fall activities

Kate wanted to do the pumpkin launch

 The kids enjoyed a couple rides

 The petting zoo was a big hit

 Lots of pictures and fun in the fall (which still felt a bit like summer).

Kate's pumpkin patch field trip

I got to take Kate on her school field trip. We had a fun day at the farm

 Hay ride out to pick her pumpkin

 The perfect one!

 Then she got to visit with all the animals

 Enjoy the mini hay maze

Fairy Tale Land

We took Grandpa to visit Fairy Tale Land one afternoon

Odds and Ends of October

October was a busy month. We had 3 sets of family visit, celebrated Kate's birthday took many fun outings exploring the area and of course had Halloween to celebrate. This post is the odds and ends of Oct.

Jaydon really got into cooking, he was excited to make these cookies with help from Granny! Kate really just came along for the photos and to do a little decorating.

Kate helped make dinner one night with Granny

This cat bed Jeremy bought Lily for the drive down to our new house has been a hit with her!

Jaydon continues to wow his teachers and does a great job at school

Jaydon had a huge bike accident and fortunately was wearing his helmet. His was definitely sore but luckily only had a couple bad scrapes on his face and nothing more serious.

Kate (and Lucy though Lucy's class was when the gym was super full so I didn't get any pics) did a gymnastics class through our local parks and rec. They both enjoyed it but are both ready to be enrolled through the actual gym facility not the parks and rec for next time.

Kate enjoys reading stories

I took this pic and sent it to my family as proof it did rain! This was almost 2 months after we had moved in and it was the first precipitation we had, the kids were also out at the playground within an hour of it ending!

Jaydon created this ship at Cal Fit (the gym we go to) and wanted a pic

 We came home with balloons from Kate's party and Lily was in heaven!

Grandpa and Nana came into town and we ate out on the river boat and toured the capital, it was fun.

I got invited to bunko night and enjoyed meeting a lot of women who have kids at school with my kiddos.

One bummer is we missed the Leighton's Halloween Pumpkin Party for the first year since it restarted. Luckily Jen and her family attended so I got some pics from afar.
